Utah Jazz: Wade, Heat humble hurting Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena

D-Will should sit and rest his ankle, let Price/Knight/Miles do the point guard job,we don't want to loose D-Will for the entire season along with loosing games with him,there's too much at stake.. yes I agree D-Will has the heart of trying to help his team, but you gonna use your head too!

I wouldn't mind seeing DWill take another week off to rest the ankle before trying to come back as close to 100% as possible. After all, that's what Boozer seems to be doing.

What's a Jazz?

At this rate, I wonder who we will get in the lottery. We've lost 3 games at home to eastern conference power houses (Chicago, NJ, Miami). I can't wait to see what we do against the top teams in the east...

Starting to remind you of another season where boozer took the whole year of with a minor injury. We need to trade him before his value gets even worse. A mosquito bite and he is out for 2 months. Trade him to the Heat for Haslem.

"also-rans" in the Northwest Division. . .

Whatever happened to the days of playing through the pain? Strained Quad, sore hip, hurt pinky, upset stomach and half the team is out for months. It's time to let the self centered, narcissistic, me first ego go and consider the fact you play for a team.

You people need to quit it with the negativity. We lost and you blame boozer for it? why don't we blame those players out on the court? Like Okur who played like garbage.

As for the person who suggest we trade boozer for haslem, you are stupid.

Koufos, Price, and Almond. Memo, D Will, and C.J. are killing us right now. It's a waste of a good Milsap. Go figure.

Anyone still think the Jazz are better without Boozer? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller. Bueller. That's what I thought. The Jazz are not better without Boozer as the 3 home losses to subpar teams have indicated. Haslem for Boozer? No comment, I would not take him over Millsap let alone Boozer. Playing through pain? Some injuries cannot be played through especially a quad. Jazz fans are unbelievable. The Jazz will still win their 50 games, right now they are not healthy. 12-8 with all these injuries is not an emergency situation. Go Jazz!

Hummmmm.....So according to you "Mo" everyone is horrible on this team except Milsap. I guess I didn't realize that Milsap was so good that he could single-handedly get us within 4 points of victory. I thought I saw 4 other guys playing with him? Guess not........Ok now for the rest of you fans. In the NBA, different nights, different players step up. One night a certian lineup works and the next night it doesn't work. The problem is that Sloan is too limited with being able to change up things as everyone is in the ER right now. Maybe last night Boozer would have carried us (oh wait he didn't play) OK last night AK should have carried us (oh you say he didn't play either) hummmm OK Brevin came off the bench to give us a lift (Oh him too) Ok well the ever dependable Harpring gave us 12 points off the bench (him too). With the lineup we have right now, we couldn't beat a JR.Jazz team.

Needs to be on the court. the last 3 games when he's in the game our deficit goes down. When Sloan takes him out the other teams lead goes up. This rookie does have a huge impact on the game in a positive way. Its time to break from the norm. Memo appears slow and over weight.

With Koufos in the line up the opposing teams do not make all those easy layups in the paint. He physicaly does something about it. The kid has got quickness and length. Lets use it. We need it.

To concerned fan: Did you not read the article? Brewer answered your question. Dwill is playing and helping more than he's hurting us. Playing will actually strengthen the ankle and the chance of hurting it are no better then if it was healthy. Sure he could come down on someone's foot and reinjure it but that has nothing to do with it being injured now.

If the Jazz want to be a contender they can't give up winable games. Dwill knows that and is trying to make a diference.

You've posted the same comment over and over. We get it, we all know how you feel.

@ Miles
Mo (more) Koufos, Price, and Almond was the intended verbage.Memo, D Will and our man C.J.(taking early bad shots not within the flow of the offense.) are hurting us the past few games. D Will is about 50%. Maybe let C.J. play back up point so we can keep pushing the ball up the floor.
What do you think?

For the person calling his post Genuis Fans, maybe you need to show a little more intelligence on the fact that it is not only your beloved Boozer not playing that is causing us to lose. Also, what Genuis Fans needs to understand that without Boozer, we are missing Milsap's points and rebounds off the bench. Give the Jazz another Millsap type player to back him up and we would be winning these close games, even with all the other players playing injured or not playing at all.

Uhhhhhhhh Dapper2k - Did you read the article?Brewer said that maybe DWill needs to take another week off and get 100% well before coming back like Boozer is doing

If we let Milsap get away after resigning Miles, that will be the biggest joke in history.If Miles had half the heart as Milsap does that kid would be an all star.C.J., stop throwing up jumpers and take the ball to the rim.Total waste of 16 million!!!

Go back to New Orleans! You should be ashamed of yourselves!

We had plenty of chances to get back in the game. Can't always blame everything on us being as hurt as we are. We were shooting horrible last night. Not too mention all the offensive rebounds we let them grab. We are still a very capable team, even with all the injuries. We just need guys to box out and hit shots.

I haven't been able to watch the Jazz this year except for two early-season Clipper/Jazz contests (which were on local TV). It pains me to see the box scores and the losses; but right now I think the key is to not make snap decisions (I'm talking to fans who seem to have lost their grip on reality). None of the teams in the West except for the Lakers look like a contender at the moment. Portland has shown flashes; Denver has shown flashes; but it's not like they're unbeaten. As banged up as the Jazz are, they are right there with all the teams. Remember that this team was 16-16 last season late in December.

I think the best part of this difficult situation (trying to look at it positively) is that players that would not get much time (Almond, Koufos, etc.) are getting considerable experience playing against NBA quality opponents. This will pay off in the long run. If we let morons who get upset over every Jazz loss run this team (morons=some of the bloggers) the Jazz would become the laughing stock of the NBA. You don't panic and make stupid judgements with every loss. Go Jazz!!!
